More snow for Eastern Canada, icy blast in West

Icy temperatures and heavy snowfall are in the forecast for many Canadians on Christmas Eve, setting the stage for a wintry Christmas across much of the country on Monday.

It’ll be a white Christmas for many in Eastern Canada, as a Texan low-pressure system intensifies and races northward “at the speed of Rudolph,” according to a special weather statement issued by Environment Canada.

Widespread weather alerts have been issued across southern Ontario Sunday, with the City of Toronto and the regions of Halton and Peel under snowfall warnings.
